"It seems like there are a lot of Africans in the United States!" Annie thought for a moment and said, "But I don't seem to have seen many."

"Black people have black communities, and white people have white communities." Sheffield explained simply. "Generally, if you don't get involved in each other's communities, you can't see each other. However, you will see more black people in northern states. This is not because

There are more black people in the north, but the black people in the north are not fixed in one place and move around everywhere."

This is also part of our own national condition, the United States. Annie didn’t feel it clearly until she came to Texas. The reason why she didn’t see the black community is because the black community here is relatively honest.

As early as before the Civil War, because the South was dominated by the plantation economy, it required a huge number of manpower as a labor force. The resistance of these labor forces was foreseeable, so almost every plantation owner was equipped with armed forces that could deter resistance. Joint defense

, things like militias are normal, which is why during the Civil War, the South, with only a quarter of the manpower of the North, achieved an exchange ratio of one to two.

After the Civil War, there was actually no difference, because soon the Democratic Party, with the support of the Dixie people, dominated the state governments of the southern states, and a series of bills were passed one after another. Virginia passed a bill declaring interracial marriage illegal.

Because of the existence of the Sheffield family, Texas quickly followed suit, and for a time similar laws were passed in southern states.

"This kind of bill is based on equality and order. Whites and blacks do not interfere with each other. At the same time, it also gives blacks an opportunity to manage themselves and prove their ability to live independently of whites." Sheffield rubbed his teeth.

, he felt that his level of cleansing could not keep up with the moral bottom line of this kind of bill.

But what can be done? The appearance of the two ethnic groups is too different. Not to mention the United States, even in any country, the main ethnic group will not like the ethnic group that is completely opposite to its own appearance. But some people dare to say it, and some dare not

Speaking out, there are very few people who have no such thoughts at all.

Furthermore, the Texas bill is already considered very humane. After all, there were predecessors who intervened. While the Virginia bill only differentiated between whites and blacks, Florida took the lead in declaring interracial marriage illegal and defined race.

Concept: Anyone who is one-eighth or more of black blood is considered a person of color. This is the beginning of the One Drop of Blood Rule.

The Texas bill adds the Latino community. This is progress and leaves room for change.

The original plan to go to New Orleans remained unchanged, but Sheffield made a reservation and asked Martin Luther King to find some black escorts and follow him there.

"It's you southerners who relied on your right to vote to establish laws and segregate the black community. Then you used the tradition of holding guns to keep the black people honest?" Anne listened for a long time and only extracted this little useful information.

.

"You can't say that. Every place has its own customs. Do you think the Yankees are much nobler? It's just that they don't say it out loud. We Dixie people are more sincere. If you don't like it, you just don't like it." Sheffield emphasized righteously,

"And this is not a bad thing. There is a saying that distance creates beauty. It is actually good not to interfere with each other."

Sheffield actually hopes that the United States will continue like this forever. After all, stability is more important than anything else, but he also knows that this is basically impossible, because the One Drop of Blood Doctrine almost destined white people to isolate themselves from the possibility of assimilating other ethnic groups. There is a little bit of black people.

Everyone is considered black by blood. If this continues, the black community will only grow larger and white people will become smaller and smaller.

If the people of the Republic thought so, the Tang Empire could really only be considered a barbarian dynasty.

"I didn't say it was wrong!" After hearing Sheffield's argument, Anne said in a weak and aggrieved voice, "I just asked casually."

"Actually, to solve this problem, we still need European immigrants to join us!" Sheffield said. This is the only way to solve it, but it cannot be done now. The economy of the United States is not good now. When the economy is not good, people will be xenophobic, and in the

This period of time should be the most xenophobic moment for the citizens of the United States. It has reached the point where there is no distinction between white people, yellow people, and black people. Even European immigrants will still arouse the resentment of the citizens of the United States.

If European immigrants want to ensure that the main ethnic groups in the United States do not have problems, then Europe has to stop thinking about it. Not only will wars continue, but even if the wars are stopped, the economies of these European countries will not become comfortable. Only poor countries can

Continuously breed offspring. For the prosperity of the United States, it is best for Europe to become Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Sheffield himself doesn’t like that the nation of the United States is too complicated. The reason is simple. Just to brainwash the white group, you only need one set of rhetoric, but to brainwash the three major ethnic groups, you need to prepare different rhetoric. These rhetorics may even contradict themselves and be confused with each other.

After all, it is not a long-term solution. If there were only white people, it would be much easier to deceive.

Sheffield brought two teams of black and white bodyguards, and this time he really went out to check out my empire. Anne looked weird and muttered, "Ossard? Dublin? Habsburg?"

"Don't you Europeans say that the United States is an empire of fakes? You are right. These are all cities in Texas. Look at the name of this city? Yes, Sheffield. It is a ranch near the Indian Territory. My home is

The first ranch in Texas." Sheffield pointed at the map and boasted, not ashamed but proud,

"Is there such a thing?" Anne's bright eyes widened, and she was very curious about what Sheffield said.

"Of course, the Indians received the Mayflower European immigrants in the past, and we, the descendants of the bandits, must be grateful." Sheffield glanced at Anne, "So when we fight, we must let the Indians fight side by side with us."

When I returned to Sheffield, Texas, I changed into a straw hat and overalls. Suits and leather shoes were not suitable for the environment here, but Anne is French and does not need to follow the local customs.

"The equipment in the factory must be improved. European technical personnel will arrive soon." Sheffield pointed in the factory, as if he was really an expert in this field. But in fact, what he learned and

The factory has nothing to do with it, even the theology degree is bought.

Not far away from Sheffield, a child wearing a hat with oil stains on his body was working hard to move parts. His young face was full of exhaustion, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

"Mechanical innovation will make workers more comfortable!" Anne, wearing a white dress, added, pointing to the child laborers, "This will generate greater profits. The relationship between the factory and the workers is best to be mutual.
